I will admit to finally succumbing to insults but only after great forbearance. Some seem to wear their feelings on their sleeves and are just looking for something to be insulted about. (I am reminded of Hillary screeching that they are called unpatriotic just because they criticize the administration. We know how phony that is.)
I also disagree with you about AR. Some of his post are the most inane of all and show an amazing lack of knowledge for someone who claims to be a homebuilder.
I consider most of them, perhaps all of them, to be disrupter's rather than seekers of knowledge or legitimate debaters. They don't offer alternate plans, hence the label Status Quo Lovers, they just disrupt and accuse (insult). Sounds alot like the Democrats to me.
I am already no longer responding to two of them so I will include the rest to my list.
I thank you for trying to be a peace maker but you are similar to the Republicans trying to be nice to the Dems; good intentions with no chance of success. If you notice, except for those few, the discussions are always pleasant and informative. If they would return to DU we could have all our threads that way.
Again, thank you for your effort and for your good intentions.
I appreciate your indulgence, but you and I know that I don't need it. I am not an idiot and neither are you. The enemy here are the SQL's who have an agenda and are neither friends of conservatives nor logical opposition. We are indulged vs. a strange minority of lackadaisical people who don't share our resolve in removing the IRS. They are the "soft opposition of limited expectations". Some of them claim that they are opposed because the plan cannot ever be passed, some of them claim that the plan cannot work in its form. Some of them claim that the plan is flawed.
Well, fine. Please show us what we should do. Please give us an alternative. Please be forthright and give us an alternative. We're all ears!!!!!!!!
Yes it is only a 'claim'. You have only been insinuating I have been lying about this for 6 years. I am a pretty good 'liar' as I have stuck with the claim since 1998. I have accumulated about 40,000 posts on this forum with a small minority on these 'fair tax' threads. These are the only threads I get accused of being some DUer or Marxist. These are the only threads I get called ignorant or 'most inane'. Of course you consider my pointing out the flaw in the embedded tax arguement for 6 years was inane until fair taxers have finally admitted my point was correct, but now is only some nit to the tune of a trillion bucks. The only other group I ever have run ins with are the anti-christian libertarians who seem to have no problems with the schools promoting gay right and passing out condoms, but throw a hissy fit if God is meantioned in schools. You know it is all a cover so I can be a troll on these threads. Anybody who dares disagrees with this plan that will bring about world peace is a troll.
